Removing epoxy from Motherboard

I am not sure if this is the correct forum but here it goes:

The side of the DC power jack snapped and are left in the board. I can solder well enough to replace a DC power jack of a laptop of a friend that broke. The problem is the side tabs are held in by epoxy and not solder. Only two of the four tabs are in the board. Is there any easy way to remove them? Drill them out? Should I bend them sideways and epoxy them to the board directly?

Thanks

It's not easy to remove epoxy, so the best bets would be to dremel or drill it out. Maybe you can get a sharp blade in there and cut the epoxy.
